Good morning, my mom had this brilliant idea to have me join a new Blogging Event called The Ultimate Blog Challenge. In the challenge, we are supposed to blog each day during the month of January.

I am not sure I can do this or would have anything to say. But that is fine as they send us prompts we can use. So for the first day, we are supposed to introduce ourselves.

My name is Charlie Cates although if you ask my family they might say I am Charlie, Bones, Wiggles or Budda Baby as I have quite a few nicknames. I just turned 10 years old in December.

I live with my mom and dad. As well as our three dogs. In a Mobile Home in December. I attend Major Cheney Elementary School in Haltom City, Texas I was born at North Hills Hospital in North Richland Hills.

I love Wrestling playing outside and spending time with my friends and family. I love watching movies with my mom. As well as playing Video Games with my dad.

If you would like to learn more about my family you can find my mom on her own website at TheMommiesReviews.com and I thank God for her and her website as it allows her to remain at home with me.

As you all know I was tripped at School on Thursday. I came home and my head kept hurting worse. On Friday my parents took me to the ER to make sure I didn’t have a Concussion.

I didn’t and since my throat was hurting and my head. They also did a test to see if I had Strep Throat. Which I also didn’t have. I was so grateful to my mom and day who stayed with me the entire time.

I had to have a Cat Scan and it was so hard to remain still. But I did and I would like to say it was over in no, time but its too time. Although I did survive it. Then I had to have a Chest XRay.

My mom came with me while they did both and my dad waited for me in my room. Playing a game. What can I say that is just my dad. As he knows my mom wanted to be with me.

I am truly blessed as they stopped at the grocery store on the way home and picked up all my favorite foods. My mom did forget a couple things. So my grandmother went back this evening and picked up more stuff for me.

I am so glad my mom works from home as she has been camped out on the couch with me the past two days. She has shut her work down just to be with me.

Even my principal called to check on me. That really made me feel good as I know people do care that I ended up both hurt from falling and sick from this virus I seemed to have picked up.

Now I am on the mend as my fever has broken but I won’t be returning to school until Wednesday. So I think I will surprise my parents and make them dinner tomorrow. I wonder what I should make.

Jeff Hardy is my very favorite and the reason is he is a daredevil. Just as I am. Jeff Hardy will jump from high spots and isn’t afraid of falling. If I could I would do the same thing. Just don’t tell my mom.

My second favorite Wrestler, of course, is Matt Hardy and Jeff and brothers. They used to be partners but now Wrestle on there own. I like Matt because his signature move is “twist of fate/ twist of hate”. Have you ever seen him do it? If so what did you think of it why?

Last and not least I like Ray Masterio and I like when he jumps over the ropes when his opponents are on the other side of the rope. I also like seeing him do his signature move 619.

My dad likes to watch Bruiser Brody and if you were to ask me why I couldn’t tell you. As I haven’t ever seen him Wrestle. Because he died in 1988 due to a knife wound by another Wrestler.

I left home yesterday to go to school and I was excited to see my friends. As we were getting ready to go outside yesterday to play. I had gone to get my Football. When someone tripped me and caused me to hit my head.

My question for you is why would someone want to hurt me? I didn’t do anything to anyone? Why won’t anyone tell the teacher who did it? I know someone had to see me fall?

Why didn’t my teacher send me to the nurse? My head hurt and I wanted to go home. My eyes were bothering me and I was having trouble seeing. I needed help. Only no, one would help me?

Why didn’t the teacher get me the help I needed? Why was I being punished and being sent outside to play when I wanted my parents? Why was I made to feel bad when I was hurting?

Am I a bad person? Someone Please help me. All I want is a friend…

I know my mom was scared and upset when she heard as I saw her crying. I know she is afraid to send me back to school because it might happen again.

So I have a question for you what kind of world do we live in where children have to be afraid to go to school?

In fact, my mom kept me home today as my head still hurts and just walking into the school was making her a nervous wreck as she didn’t want to leave me.

Please pray for us as I have to return on Monday.. Or should I ask to be Homeschooled and just stay inside and never venture outside?

Today it is just my mom and me at home as my father is working. With it being the New Year I wanted to cook dinner for us. So, I chose one of mine and my mom’s favorite meals.

I am making Hamburger Helpers Crunch Taco as this is my favorite flavor of Hamburger Helper. Also, it is my mothers favorite as well. With my dad being at work today it was the perfect time to make it as he doesn’t care for it.

So I have been nice and I am making my father Homemade Hamburgers so he doesn’t have to cook when he gets home late this evening. All he will need to do is put them on some bread.

With the Hamburger Helper, I thought of opening a can of green beans so we would have our veggies but I decided that I didn’t want to and this time my mom said it would be fine not to have a veggie.

But not to make a habit out of it as its the New Year and she want’s us to all eat more healthier meals. So, I have a question for you do you eat this flavor or Hamburger Helper and if so what do you serve with it and why?

Did you know I use mine with Doritos Cheese Flavored or Ranch and I dip the chips into the meal and use it as a snack? Who needs silverware and plates when you can turn your meals into finger foods?
